Our monthly lunch at Morel’s Restaurant

Our Old China Hands lunch 7 December in Morel’s Restaurant failed to beat our previous record of May 2018, but it was again pretty full house: we were 37. Some no-shows, some simply forgot it…
As always a very lively lunch, the last one of 2018.

Our OCH members in the news!

This time of the year we saw several interviews, mostly related to the celebration of “40 years opening up” of China. See here a selection:

The Old China Hands lunch 2 November was this time on a “normal” day and saw a nice attendance of 32 OCH, this time finally some ladies!
It was also, if I may say, the “official” launch of my book as I had some copies, the first batch that arrived in Beijing. Well, all sold out but I will have more copies for the next lunch. Anyway one can buy the Kindle version here:

The Old China Hands lunch 5 October was at the end of the “Golden Week” of National day but we still had a total of 21 attendees. Some new faces among the regulars! Sadly, no any lady! Guys, find some nice ladies to join!

Some of our members were again in the news: Bruce with his article in China Daily about Tianjin, and Mark Levine in China Daily about the Chinese Green Card.

Only for the second time in five years I could not make it but the Old China Hands lunch 3 August went ahead anyway, with David keeping an eye on the lunch attendants.
This time a pretty low turnout, must be hot weather, holidays and so on: 16 total.
